In previous years Amazon has also given its Prime members exclusive deals on speakers, headphones, vinyl, record players and more.

There is currently a deal on offer which includes 4 months of Prime Music for just 99p, which is usually £9.99 a month, or £7.99 a month for Amazon Prime members.

This deal allows you to use the app to listen to 40 million songs anywhere you go and also works with Alexa devices like the Echo. This offer expires on July 31.

How to shop on Amazon Prime Day - even without a Prime membership

If you don’t already have an Amazon Prime account you can sign up for £79 annually, or £7.99 per month.

However, if you don’t want to commit to the annual service and would like to test it out first, you can try out a 30-day free trial

This allows you to try before you buy and also take part in Amazon Prime Day. After your free trial, Amazon Prime is just £7.99 per month, but this can be cancelled at any time.

All Prime deals will be clearly marked on the items with a blue sign underneath, which will indicate that these products are included in the event.

In order to prepare for Amazon Prime Day, the retailer is advising that anyone with an Amazon Prime account should install the Amazon Assistant, which is available on desktops and mobiles.

The Amazon Assistant will give you notifications on which deals are starting and Amazon is advising customers to start early, adding items that they're interested in to a list ahead of Prime Day in order to help compare the best deals available.

But remember to check the deals are actually good discounts

While Amazon is more reliable than a lot of online retailers, it’s still worth checking if you’re actually getting a bargain.

Use a free price tracker like Camelcamelcamel.com to check how many times an item’s price has changed, as well as the retailers on Amazon offering the highest and lowest prices.

After all, some third parties sell products more cheaply than Amazon itself.
